A commercial bank will loan you $20,000 for four years to buy a car. The loan must be repaid in 48 equal monthly payments. The annual interest rate on the loan is 6.00 percent of the unpaid balance. How large are the monthly payments?

Monthly payment = $469.701

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.  

The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:  

Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor  

Loan amount = 20,000

Monthly annuity factor  =

=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r  

r- Monthly interest rate (r)  

= 6/12= 0.5%  

n- Number of months ( n) = 20 × 4 = 48

Annuity factor  

= ( 1- (1.005)^(-48)/0.005= 42.5803

Monthly installment= 20,000 /42.5803  = $469.701

Monthly installment = $469.701

Monthly payment = $469.701

the answer is "b.the increased supply will create a surplus. "

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
